One of the challenges of a campus environment (or park, golf course, beach, etc.) in the Pacific NW...goose land mines.

My brother and I have lunch together a few times a week, which means I walk to a cafeteria in another building. Today I found myself navigating the goose poop on the sidewalks. From the evidence, several others had already failed this navigational challenge. I'm glad I don't share an office with any of them.

This just struck me funny. Should Microsoft hire poop scoopers to clean the goose poop from the sidewalks? Maybe we just need to clean the carpets and floors more frequently? Perhaps install boot scrapers at every entrance? Or on a more serious note, follow in the footsteps of Seattle and get rid of the geese?

Me? I just see it as an excuse to play a little hop-scotch on my way to lunch. My daughter will be playing that soon so I'll need the practice.
